Shovel Knight

It sounds like the devs actually tried to use street pass in a unique way. I like the idea of battling random people I pass, and how awesome this will be is directly linked to how good combat is in the game.

So... has anyone played it?

Doesn't this come out on Wii U, too?

and PC

Huh, it is fifteen dollars according to their site. I'm gonna wait and see what you guys think of it and/or wait for a sale.

From my time with the demo, it was a quality game that was fun. Worth the $15 and good support to a small indie team.

What would you compare the game to Jmustang? What about it was giving people a "Souls" vibe? Do you think the combat is interesting enough that battling people via streetpass could make the 3ds version notable?

Yeah, that's where I'll be playing it.

The game felt a lot like Duck Tales meets Castlevania.

I am not sure how it is like a Souls game to be honest...

I know people like to compare everything to 'Souls' lately but there's really nothing I've read about this game where I've heard that comparison. Lol

Mega Man+Ducktales+Zelda II+Castlevania would be more appropriate.

I've seen Souls often considered a throwback to the NES era of game design, maybe that's what they're thinking with that comparison?

I think the Souls titles have more in common with roguelikes than NES games...

Shovel Knight looks like Mega Man to me.
